Welcome!

As you can probably tell, I love counted cross stitch! Like most stitchers, I have a huge collection of purchased patterns, but I take great delight in finding new free charts. I have started this blog as a "Pay It Forward" thank you to all the generous stitchers who have provided free cross stitch charts throughout the years, from all around the world. I enjoy designing simple charts as much as I like stitching, so I will post free charts I have designed here for all to access. I hope you will enjoy the charts as much as I have enjoyed designing them and as much as I have delighted in the charts others have done!

Here are pictures of the finished scissors fob as promised (a day late, however!) You'll be able to see the adjustments I made in the chart after stitching it up. What looks good on screen in the software program doesn't always translate satisfactorily to the actual stitching. I felt like a little wider space around the stitching and the darker color for the wording would be an improvement.

Thanks for the lovely coffee fob chart! {and all the others as well} I have several friends I'd like to stitch this for... including myself! :-) Where did you get the lovely charms you have on your fobs? I think they are gorgeous touch to the fobs!

Thanks, Lizzy, for the kind and encouraging comments. I am so glad to know that others are enjoying my charts! I found my charms at my local Hobby Lobby Arts & Crafts Store but an online source can be found at http://www.watchfaces-charms.com
